A recent a national poll conducted for the Guardian newspaper suggested that a significant number of Trinidad & Tobago citizens support hanging.
The poll was done by the ANSA McAL Psychological Research Centre, University of the West Indies, St Augustine during the period April 13 to 16, using a random sample of 512 persons 18 years and over, reflecting the ethnic diversity in the country.
It found that approximately 73 per cent of respondents said they support the return of hangings, with strong support from 39 per cent. Sixteen per cent said they don't support it.
Here's a snapshot of the result:
